The costume was identical to the outfit women by Richardson in 2020 while accomplishing gold at the 100-meter race. In addition to this, Washington also copied the signature hairstyle of Richardson by wearing a fiery orange hair wig and styling it up in a ponytail.

Further, she also channels the Sha’Carri by adding long nails, tattoos, necklaces and sweatbands around the hairline. More so, Washington not only copied the sprinter’s persona but she also dubbed Sha’Carri Richardson’s speech from 2021.

I’m still that girl, but I’m stronger. I’m still that girl, but I’m wiser. So I had to shed the old and present the new.”

The primary reason for mentioning “shed the old and present the new” was in line with Richardson’s controversy back in 2021. However, Richardson made a remarkable comeback on track and field this year. 

Richardson not only wrapped her comeback season but also clinched the 2023 World Athletics championships title in Budapest. Since Washington is an activist, opting for a track and field legend, Sha’Carri is the best inspiration. Overall, Sha’Kerry’s transformation and Sha’Carri’s performance were exceptional this season.
